A member of the AFLs laws of the game committee believes umpires made a bad error in awarding a costly 50m penalty against Sydney that gifted Hawthorn a goal in their five-point win.Swans captain Kieren Jack was controversially penalised for entering the protected zone of Hawk Jonathan ORourke right on three-quarter time at the SCG on Thursday night, allowing the visitors to slot a crucial major.Former Collingwood premiership player Michael Christian, who is on the AFLs laws committee, said it was a mistake to penalise Jack because he had already been in the protected zone when ORourke marked.You have to get out of the area immediately but you dont have to run sideways nor on an angle, Christian told radio station RSN on Friday morning.The rule is designed if youre outside the protected zone and you run into the protected zone, 50 straight away.But when youre already in there youve got to give time to the player to run out.I think it was a mistake by the umpire because he was already in there.He ran out immediately. He didnt sprint, but he was going quickly enough to get out of the area, realised he was in there and the whistle blew.Bad error, I reckon.It was one of two late 50m penalties against the Swans and preceded another given against Ben McGlynn, who was deemed to have entered the protected zone in a dramatic final quarter, leading Jonathon Ceglar to score.The Twitter hashtag #FreeKickHawthorn went viral as Swans fans vented their frustrations, but AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan reckoned the penalties were both clearly there.I dont think anyones disputing the 50s were there, McLachlan told 3AW.Sydney coach John Longmire wasnt sure whether the interpretation of the 50m rule had changed, but didnt intend to seek clarification from the AFLs umpiring department.I dont know, ask the umpires, I really dont know to be honest, Longmire said.A miffed Longmire did question the games uneven free-kick count, which finished at 15-9 to the Hawks but had been more lopsided earlier.Obviously we were undisciplined because the free-kick count was 3-13 at three-quarter time, Longmire said.I dont think Ive seen a differential like that for quite a while.Well have to get better at our discipline, clearly, because thats a big differential.Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson found the umpiring to be pretty strong but observed the obvious challenge with the 50m rule lay in the consistency of its interpretation.

But he had some reads hed like to have back and some things he couldve done better, but as the game went on, he got a little more comfortable and started using his legs better.Petty tossed an interception on his first pass that led to a 49ers touchdown one play later, but he wasnt rattled.He finished 23 of 35 for 257 yards, and had four rushes for 19 yards. No run was bigger than his 2-point conversion run when he looked more like a tailback than a quarterback, shaking off linebacker Ahmad Brooks and spinning his body into the end zone to get the Jets within 17-14 with just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter.He started competing and he got a little more relaxed and his competitive nature started to come out, Bowles said during a conference call. He forgot he was like a first-year starter and started playing more to himself, so that was encouraging.Petty was elevated to starting quarterback for the final four games of the season by Bowles last week, pushing Ryan Fitzpatrick to the sideline. With New York out of the playoff hunt, the team decided to give Petty an extended look to see, perhaps, if he could be their quarterback heading into next season.A fourth-rounder last year out of Baylor, Petty showed the inconsistencies of a young and developing quarterback.There were steps because he actually started and prepared and played a whole game without having to look over his shoulder or come in for an emergency, Bowles said. Theres a long way to go, but there were some steps early on.Petty had some gunslinger-like throws down the field, including one late in the second quarter that threaded the needle so closely that it first appeared it was intercepted, but was actually caught one-handed by Quincy Enunwa.There was also the play that helped set up Bilal Powells winning touchdown run in overtime when Petty rolled to his left and, while facing pressure, launched a pass down the field to Robby Anderson, who leaped to make a 26-yard catch.Shoot, I think you just play QB and you go off your instincts, Petty said after the game.ddddddddddddPetty also had a handful of moments when he held the ball a bit too long, resulting in several of the 49ers six sacks.With three games to go -- all against AFC East opponents -- the Jets would like to see a few things from Petty moving forward, including better command of the offense, as well as clock and game management and making the right reads.Allow himself to play more for who he is as opposed to just being in the system and allowing some of his moxie to come out with some of the things he can do well, like move in the pocket and get his legs moving and get involved, Bowles said. You hope to see some of the corrections with the reads made in the coming weeks and making those types of throws and getting better from there.After the game, Petty gave himself mixed reviews, but was just thankful for the victory.The first half was probably about as ugly as I could play, he said. I came out a little more nervous than I thought I was going to be. I felt good all week, good practices all week, and then, for whatever reason, I just have to settle down. Hats off to the team for just sticking with me.Petty has a short week to prepare for Miami, with a home game Saturday night. After dealing with some nerves against the 49ers, Petty hopes there will be fewer knots in his stomach against the Dolphins.I hope that feeling starts to leave the more games that I get in there, Petty said. I dont know, in a sense, I like being nervous, I love it. I feel like the day that I stop getting nervous for football is probably the day that Im going to hang it up. Im just so passionate about football, and its that feeling that football gives me that nothing else gives me.Game notes Bowles said RB Matt Forte is day to day with a right knee injury after having an MRI on Monday, but wouldnt go into details. Forte left the game in the first quarter and didnt return. ... Bowles said rookie Brandon Shell, a fifth-rounder and the great-nephew of Art Shell, could start at right tackle if Breno Giacomini (back, shoulder, calf) and Brent Qvale (left hamstring) are unavailable.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '
